Migration assistant crashed my MacBook

I bought a new MacBook Pro and wanted to migrate all of my old MacBook white 2010. I followed the instructions but my old MacBook essentially broke down and whenever I try to restart by pressing the power button, it connects directly to the Migration Wizard has crashed. I tried to do the thing in safe mode, but it does not work. Basically from my computer is useless and I can't go back to a home screen. I tried to reboot in safe mode about 30 times. My old MacBook has very little memory left which may have something to do with it.

What about the old Mac OSX version?

    You can connect otherwise?  USB or FireWire or love at first sight?  You can connect both machines and start the one you want to transfer to target disk mode.  If your other machine is up and running with an account on it and you just want to move files, you can simply drag and drop the FRO the machine mounted TDM, or you can use the migration wizard.

    Or, if the other machine still starts and runs, you can start both computers and connect to the same wifi network and share the hard drive like machines on the network.  Access them in the finder on the new machine files and drag-and - drop, or use the wizard migration, on wifi.

  • If I unplug the power adapter for my MacBook for 5 minutes during the migration assistant will continue the migration or the battery has been disabled in utility mode?

    I used the migration assistant to transfer my documents and applications of a backup time machine to my MacBook. I know that I need my wired adapter so that the whole process to complete due to the time it takes for the migration. If I unplug my adapter for 5 minutes the macbook will lose power because of the battery off in utility mode or power will be uninterrupted?

    Hello

    What service Pack is installed on the computer?

    Windows migration brings the following information about your Windows PC (Windows XP SP3 or higher) on your Mac:
    Note: You must have at least Windows XP with Service pack 3 for Windows Migration Wizard.
    Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus software and check if that helps.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Using Migration Assistant with no display

    I got my MacBook mid-2010 (2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, OS X El Capitan) for 2 years.

    It splits into two somewhere within 2 years.

    The MacBook was still usable, but it had to be on a desk. The screen was completely separate from the base. It still worked.

    I woke up a few days ago to find that someone had cut the display cable holding the MacBook set and turn on the screen.

    I bought an early-2011 13 "MacBook Pro to replace the dead MacBook. (Yes, I buy old Mac because the news is so expensive).

    Old Mac has been saved semi regularly, so I have an old backup to use for the new Mac. The problem is that just before the death of the former Mac, I downloaded a bunch of stuff that has not been saved. I really want the files that have not been backed up on my new MBP.

    Can I use Migration Wizard with an Ethernet cable and transfer of data from one, or Migration Assistant must be running on old Mac as well?

    I tried to connect (I'm sure that the computer is still running, it doesn't simply have a display) on the old Mac, plug the backup drive and I hope to do a backup hourly, but Time Machine did not only.

    Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    If you use Ethernet or a wireless network to transfer data, Yes. If you can not download the files and file-sharing has not been activated on the old Mac, you must either get fixed display or put its internal drive in a closed Chamber.

  • Migration assistant will consolidate iPhoto and photo libraries

    I just bought an iMac "towards the end of 2015" to replace my iMac 2011. I'm a Mac (MacBook Pro and iMac) user since 2005 and I am aware of the installation of the Migration Wizard when you first install a new Mac. However, for some reason, I have an iphotos library and a library of photos. Can anyone tell if migration assistant will consolidate in a single library or I have to do (manually?) before migration?

    Two follow-up questions (if you're still reading this...)

    iMovie is now only opens on my iMac 2011 (part of the reason why I bought a new iMac). There are projects that must still be finalized that it contains. Speculation as to whether the data migration is likely to result in my getting access to these existing projects? Worst case scenario would be that everything that is corrupt iMovie on my current iMac is transferred to the new machine. My guess is that what stop imovie to open 2011 on the iMac is not related to the data that make up the project, so that when I migrate to the new machine, I go back to my projects. Can anyone confirm this?

    Last question (base); What are the recommendations for what should be my time machine drive? I currently have 1 Tb internal, more an external of 2 to 3 TB of disk. With the new machine equipped with connectivity Thunderbolt that I will be in the market for a new external hard drive. because the new machine has 2 TB drive internal pot and am looking to get a disc hard thunderbolt of 3 - 4Tb, should I still 5-6 to time machine as backup (assuming I get nearby using all available space my on my internal and external drive)?

    Much appreciated for your advice.

    No, it won't merge.

    Using both programs such as libraries have different content that needs merging? When Photos import iPhoto library, it creates hard links to files, not copy, so they do not all the disk space.

    I can't respond to the #2.

    Your our backup drive should be two to three times the amount of data to back up.

  • You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

    Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

    I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

    What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

    Nick

    Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

  • migration assistant for only the user folder

    I'm helping a student who left a Time Machine backup College but suffered a hard disk failure in his MacBook Pro here. We can't clone or make a backup hard drive TM or run the recovery partition. All we could do was to copy the user on an external hard drive folder.

    Apple replace the drive under warranty and installation of system software. When we reboot the machine that is repaired, we will be able to use setup assistant/migration assistant to transfer the folder to the user as it will not be recognized as another backup Mac or MC? Otherwise, what is the best way to get it on the laptop and recognized as a user it?

    (She needs to work on its data before returning to the University is not an option to wait until she is back with his backup TM)

    As far as I know the Migration can be done with just the folder of the user. What I would say is that you copy the text of the drive backed up by a folder. In other words, open the two folders of Documents and copy the text from the backup folder of Documents to the Documents from the computer folder. This, for everything except the library. Most of what is in the library will be restored as the computer is reconfigured and the applications are put back in place.

  • I used migration assistant to transfer to new mac external hard drive. All files seem to be there, but when I tried to add a comment photo to FB, photo albums of library and events have been grayed out. How can I fix?

    I used the migration assistant and an external hard drive to transfer everything from my old macbook pro to my new. All files appear to have burst, but when I wanted to add a comment of the photo on FB, the library is grayed out and the album of events could not be considered. Any ideas how I might solve this problem?

  • Migration assistant did not what I expected

    I set up my iMac 5K and installed Photoshop and Office of the COR.  I used Migration Assistant, thinking it would be the best way to transfer my iTunes from my old Mac Mini Library. Now, I have two accounts on my new iMac, HLP from my old Mac Mini and HP the new account, I just put in place.  How can I: 1) move my iTunes library of HLP HP and 2) Get rid of the HLP account that I don't want on my 5 K?

    You not use Migration Wizard and Setup Assistant, you would not create a second user account. However, it's water under the bridge. Next time, consider using the configuration wizard and migrate then and not an afterthought.
